it's already fucked up as soon as the step-dad has been introduced + the way he only 'love" him bcs he's a good and sheltered teenage boy just disgusts me on so many levels. idc if he has a sad past of his experience w his dad, bcs that doesn't justify the fact that he literally made a confused teenage boy "fall in love" w him (( and it's not even love to begin with, it's just toxic lust ))

love takes form on many ways, and it can also be portrayed through these acts of serving delicious meals w your loved ones. bringing this a much more closer connection as food really ties us up altogether. whether the manga describes their relationship as platonic or romantic, i really love how not every affection has to be explicit

i yearn for such dynamic between the two of them istg

I haven’t found anything exactly like this couple dynamics but here are some recommendations in the dom/subverse:
- dom x sub, coworkers, cute story and I really liked the seme: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kimi_no_ahimoto_de_ai_wo_shiru/
- dom x dom, you might enjoy this as it’s the same dynamic, both dom teachers: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/oresama_dom_wa_nade_raretai/
- dom x sub, gorgeous art style: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/play_after_call/
- dom x sub, you might like this one because they’re online friends before having a relationship like Masa and Oto: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_dom_commands_via_online_chat/

on yeonwoo's case, encountering his stalker once more and witnessing a near-death experience of his lover would sure make him frustrated abt the entire fiasco. sure it would make him look like the bad guy if anyone would see the situation out of context, but did he really have to let him go without taking a picture of his face while yeonwoo's pinning him down on the curb ? could've gathered enough evidence to sue him with it too

i love how it not only focuses on the romance but it also leans more on the in depth lives of both characters. unveiling those raw emotions from their scenario just made each of them feel so real that even i couldn't bare to side with the other in a biased matter.
(well except for that reporter bcs that really was a shitty and pathetic move)
with such well written plot, each panel wouldn't be a bore to me
if they're not like this then i don't want them
